top.frames[1].location.href not working: fetch frame name during runtime

[Revathi Balakrishnan]

Hi All
My" Frame .html " page is divided in to header and client frames and in my client frame i am loading "client.html" page, and this client .html is divided in to multiple frames,

when i click any on link in the client.html,it should load the url of the link in the client frame, ir respective of the frame in which the link resides in the client.html,

hence i used

top.frames[1].location.href=link_url;
this is not working

But if i use
top.frames["framename"]=link_url
it works fine

i don want to use the name, can any one help me please?

According to w3schools, it would return references of the named frame only. So if the second frame of your page doesn't have any name, it won't be returned with frames[1].

i have named my frame, as CLIENT eventhough if i use
top.frames[1].location.href=link_url; i am getting object expected error, and i checked window.frames.length before the line top.frames[1].location.href usig alert, and that retured 1, but i expected more than 2, since my

My" Frame .html " page is divided in to header and client frames and in my client frame i am loading "client.html" page, and this client .html is divided in to multiple frames,

Hi all
In the below syntax,
top.frames["framename"].location.href

i don want to hard code the frame name, Instead is there any way in which i can dynamically fetch the name of the frame in a html file using javascript?

Any of ur advise would be much helpful to me

top.frames[1].location.href not working is not working in fire fox

Have you tried

top.frames[0].location.href

hi
Thanks for the reply, I tried top.frames[0].location.href that also does not work

Just post some relevant code, e.g. how you've declared the frame tag, where and how you're calling the code.
